Does it still crash if you disable azalia? (with boot -c)
If not, the best approach is probably to disable azalia while
installing, then try a kernel from the netbsd-5 branch (5.0_STABLE
rather than 5.0.1 or 5.0.1_PATCH) which will have the replacement
hdaudio(4) driver instead, which works a lot better and will hopefully
not crash.
If the crash still happens that way, it's something else causing it,
and the first step is to extract a stack backtrace from ddb (type
"bt") to see where it blew up.
